Julien Olivain e1c5238ba2 btrfs-progs: kerncompat: fix fallthrough definition for gcc 5.x and 6.x.
Commit [1] 3a1d4aa089 "btrfs-progs: fix fallthrough cases with proper
attributes" introduced a macro "fallthrough" to better handle compiler
warnings of fallthrough situations.

This macro is defined using the "__has_attribute" built-in
function-like macro, which was introduced in GCC 5. See [2]. It then
test for the "__fallthrough__" attribute, which was introduced in
GCC 7. See [3].

When compiling with a gcc version which supports "__has_attribute" and
not the "__fallthrough__" attribute, compilation fails with error
message:

    common/format-output.c: In function 'print_escaped':
    common/format-output.c:78:4: error: 'fallthrough' undeclared (first use in this function)
        fallthrough;
        ^
btrfs-progs claim to support gcc at minimal version 4.8 in [4].

This commit fixes this issue by adding the missing definition.

The definition of the unsupported case is duplicated, because testing
for "__has_attribute" and an attribute at the same time is not
portable. See the cpp "__has_attribute" documentation [5].

Note: the issue was found with Buildroot Linux [6], while testing with
the command "utils/test-pkg -a -p btrfs-progs".
